You can't make this stuff up.

ROTFLMAO!!! Talk about bye bye credibility. I guess we won’t see Mark testifying in front of any more committess on gun control. :-)

It looks as if Mr.Kelly has psychological issues to take care of and he should have never purchased that AR-15 If we’re to believe that he bought in only as an impulse purchase.

He states that he’s going to turn the weapon into the local Police right after buying the weapon.Now that’s the clincher right there.

He should never be allowed to purchase another weapon without getting a psycogical exam first.

Only after the purchase was discovered did Mark Kelly post on his Facebook indicating that the AR-15 purchase was an impulse buy, and that he would be turning it over to the Tuscon PD as soon as he got it from the gun store.

How did this guy ever get into space?
He needs a psych eval.

[Kirkwood]

You would think his wife would be completely freaked out that he bought any gun.

I'd love to see that background check form. What was his intent regarding possession when he signed it.

May be either a prosecution or PR disaster here.

Gabby is proof of the old Bob Hope joke about Democrats and zombies.
But you can’t kill them, just look at the evidence, shoot them in the head to destroy the brain......they don’t have any!!!!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Maybe he bought it for Gabby. She likes guns!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

...he now says he intended (the AR15 purchase) as an illustration of the need for more stringent gun laws.

In other words, he's a crazy man who should not be allowed to own a gun but he was able to get one anyway.

Guns for me, but not for thee.

Kelly claimed that he bought the AR to show that it's too easy to buy an "assault weapon". That's the same logic that Christopher Dorner used to voice his support for gun control laws in his manifesto...

If you had a well regulated AWB, this would not happen. The time is now to reinstitute a ban that will save lives. Why does any sportsman need a 30 round magazine for hunting? Why does anyone need a suppressor? Why does anyone need a AR15 rifle? This is the same small arms weapons system utilized in eradicating Al Qaeda, Taliban, and every enemy combatant since the Vietnam war.

This clown’s publicity stunt didn’t fool anybody, garnered him a lot of bad PR, and, if he lives up to his word (doubtful) and turns the gun over to the cops, cost him some money. He is a creep exploiting his wife. Does he have a job anymore, or is he going to be an “ex-astronaut” for the rest of his life?
